<p>On ascending order, the ways we learn something efficiently go like that (according to an epistemologist whose name I always forget) :
[list=a]What we hear
[<em>]What we see
[</em>]What we write
[li]What we teach/apply[/li][/list]
So, in order to master vocabulary, I think this method would do the trick, as it combines all, since we see, write and apply what we know. This is how it works:
The previous person gives you a hard, SAT-level word and the person replying has to make a sentence with that word. The sentence has to show the meaning of this word, and it should be well-applied. You get what I mean. Then, after the posted sentence, the person also has to provide another SAT word (without the definition). The following person takes that word and makes a sentence, and also gives another word of his/her own.</p>

<p>And so it goes.
I hope it works for all of us. It combines it all, and it would be a great way of expanding vocabulary!
